Glorious Goodwood 2015

To Glorious Goodwood, or Qatar Goodwood Festival (to use its
official new name since the socking great 10-year sponsorship deal
with Qatar) for Ladies' Day. Aside from taking in all the fashion
finery, the main event of the day was the Magnolia Cup, which set
off to a false start with four runners being disqualified. Camilla
Henderson eventually romped to victory, not that those in the
Qatari box (Astrid Harbord, Princess Eugenie, Natalie Pinkham...) even noticed, they were too
busy being plied with champagne, endless finger sandwiches and
chocolates. A day at the races is tiresome work, don't you
know?
